Can a Foreigner Drive this legally? (Truck)

[Bigz]

By European standards this would be a 7.5 ton vehicle and you won't be able to drive it legally on a standard car 'b' license. 7.5 ton means is the max. allowed gross weight (including the truck and load)

To the point.

Although I would have answered the question with a plain "No" from experience/hearsay I try to find some proof. A video in Thai clearly confirms the above.

There is a reason why it's called a "Private car" license.

(3.5 t, max 7 passengers)

 

Also been mentioned already: the license plate is a "commercial" one.

Can only be driven with a respecting "truck" license.

Driving such vehicle is always considered work.

Foreigner will never get a work permit for truck driving ("forbidden" job).

So no sense in issuing truck license to foreigner.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I remember very clearly from exam prep, normal license could drive cars with 12 passengers.

 

“Private vehicle” means: (1) a private car for passengers not more than seven in number; (2) a private car for passengers exceeding seven but not more than twelve in number and a private pick-up truck with vehicle weight of not more than one thousand and six hundred kilograms which is not used in transport for reward under the law on land transport

I hope that's been changed. Double cab pickups weigh the best part of 2,000 kilos.
